Here for your delectation is theSPECTACULAR & RARE----------------------HURRY SUNDOWN by K.B. Gilden.Katya Alpert Gilden (c. 1919-1991) was a best-selling novelist who wrote with her husband Bert Gilden under the pen-name "K.B. Gilden". The couple produced two major novels, Hurry Sundown (1964), which was made into an Otto Preminger film in 1967, and Between the Hills and the Sea (1971), published the year of Bert's death.Gilden was born in Bangor, Maine and graduated from Radcliffe College in 1935. While an undergraduate, she was the first woman to publish in the Harvard Advocate, submitting a poem, and a story about a fight between a black and white boxer. The themes of race, gender, and inequality would resurface in her later novels. Hurry Sundown is about black and white Southern sharecroppers, and Between the Hills and the Sea about factory workers and labor relations in the 1940s-50s. The Gildens considered themselves "novelist[s] of the world of work", and were heavily influenced by essays on proletarian fiction by György Lukács.Hurry Sundown was a best-seller of extreme length (1,046 pages). Nonetheless, the Gildens sold the movie rights to Paramount for an unprecedented $795,000.Gilden lived the later part of her life in Cambridge, Massachusetts and died in Boston. She had three children.Hurry Sundown is a 1967 American drama film produced and directed by Otto Preminger. It stars Jane Fonda and Michael Caine. The screenplay by Horton Foote and Thomas C.
